I can not access Youtube on my XL4 anymore. Have good connection to internet, and Netflix works. The 'one moment' icon stays up, and it never changes. I am using the SD mode, since it is hooked up to a older large screen TV. Could that have anything to do with it? Also running 20.3.8.

Also, is there a way to use the HD displays WITHOUT being in 720i or higher? It won't let me change it in the menu, due to the 720i restriction. When I was running into a problem with FIOS, at one point, it switched back to Tivo Central, and it was in the HD display mode, so it should be able to work. Ideas?

CoxInPHX,
Thanks for the data. I am using kmttg v1p01. When I click on remote, then web, and enter in the link you supplied, then execute, the Tivo immediately shows the boot up Tivo man video, but no youtube. It is a XL4 Premiere, running 20.3.8.

It appears that I was incorrect in the version. It is v1p0l, which is L at the end, not 1. It does have the flash/html option, and I have tried both. Still don't understand why it plays the Tivo video...

Any thoughts as to why the Tivo shows the start up video, when I 'execute'?

Thanks! I think that you hit the nail on the head. Apparently, Tivo changed something with the YouTube app. It used to work fine.
Since I'm on an older large screen TV, I can't use anything higher than SD. Hmmm... What to do...
I wonder if this is also why kmttg doesn't work for YouTube?

Just don't understand why they broke the app (it used to work until recently). BTW, my premiere was only $200 from Tivo, not $700, and I love the picture that I get on my existing TV, so kind of silly to replace it just to get YouTube.
Also, can still view YouTube on the Series 3 (which is only hooked up for access to old recordings), so there is something wrong with the XL4 app. It's just a pain to have to switch inputs just for YouTube, and don't plan on keeping the Series 3 connected much longer.

Youtube also stopped working with certain videos in my SageTV install. Something to do with videos where they force advertising on you, apparently.

The Youtube interface re-design for my Tivo Premiere is really kinda awful...takes forever to load....press a button and lag, lag, lag, wait, wait, wait....Why does Google want us to NOT use this service? Boggles the mind.
Youtube used to be the best thing on the Internet, now it's just a massive slog, no matter what platform it's accessed on.
I'd be fine with a few ads popping up - that's not the problem...now, it seems the management at Tivo CAN'T seem to work a deal with Google to make it work well.
Tivo sold this unit to me advertising a working Youtube as a feature/sales point.
It barely works now....make it work again, Tivo.
thanks

I wouldn't count on ANY drastic support from Tivo, This just out:

"According to sources within Tivo, most of the hardware team has been let go. So far, that’s five employees. A skeleton crew of two engineers has been retained to handle support for current and upcoming third-party devices."
